I am far too sick to attend, but it sounds incredible.

Have a great one & big thanks to Ralph and Mike for putting on this extraordinary local beer event.

Just got home. We got there at 6:40 and there were about a dozen in front of us in line. We were eating so we snagged one of the few tables available. What a great night, so many people waiting to get in, so many awesome beers on tap. I tried California Love Pale, Heavy Petting Saison, Armadildo IPA, Unicorn Barley Wine, Where There's Smoke There's Fire, Harry Porter, Johnny Simcoe IPA, and Dalai Lambic Wild Ale. Whew. Wish I could have tried more. Thanks Lackey, GLB and Volo. Can't wait for the canned Canuck to hit LCBO shelves.

Had a great time, good to see a number of familiar faces from Bartowel. Managed to try about 10 of them with a bunch being rather enjoyable. Karma Citra definitely being the one that I hope they make more of. VERY nice.

Would drink this daily if it was available. Highly drinkable, unfiltered, unfettered hop goodness. Glad I made the trip down from the RH.
